Photo 07-25-2008

Today was not a good day regarding weather and taking pictures.... We had some of the outerbands from hurricane Dolly go through our area. Lots of rain and wind, I was soaked this morning from walking to my car, which was parked about 2 minutes away. So instead of giving you all rain pictures...

As a cat treat we give our cats some catnip tonight.... some cats go crazy from this herb/plant. In our house only one cat can really appreciate this treat and it's so funny for us to see how she behaves..... taking a picture of it, however is another story. First she gets so wild my shutterspeed won't keep up with it, than she gets these really big eyes, which makes her more like a drugaddict than a cat. But by the end she is so relaxed, I at least could get one decent picture!

And lastly I'm sharing a few favourites:
A dragonfly which almost looks drawn!

Look who's watching me!



And I just love the water!!!!
This for me says summer and vacation, although I'm still working!

Oh gosh... be careful and stay safe in all that nasty weather! That looks scary.

I have to ditto the above in saying what an awesome variety you have here! It is so neat to get a little glimpse into things that seem "everyday" to you but are extraordinary for me!

I cannot get over that dragonfly. Holy SMOKES. That is one amazing photo. I can't believe the colors they have on such a little body.

And...I think your cat has the 'glazed over' look if you know what I mean. Haha.
